I use profound mainly because the black ice gear doesnt have crit strike on it, and as a combat tr that plain sucks. when i use my black ice gear in domination there is a huge drop off imho,, what do you all think

For the High-End TR, Black Ice is probably better. By High-End I mean guys who have so much AP and Critical strike from their non-armor items (Boons/Artifacts/Enchantments/Companions etc) that increasing them further doesn't add as much. In that case it does make sense to go Black Ice.
For now go Profound 100%.
As Rust said. Once you will get specific overloads you will not want to retire the set. For combat TR CBI is bis. Get more crit from kits/companion. You can offset the lack of crit also with artifact and passive skills.
I value your contribution to the TR community, but you are advocating only one sided medal.
Profound is bis ONLY for perma whisperknife/mi. Other than that it's much weaker to black ice due to lack of Overload slots (this advantage is so huge you would not believe).
Using specific build is very subjective. You play WK perma while someone can play successfully a semiperma AP build, or reflect TR. For the two later Black Ice is BIS due to the advantage in damage and/or survivability generated by overload slots.
I bet not a lot of people have caught wind of these yet...

They're OP, I know I know~ it's gotta get nerfed a little notch. But still, Black Ice gear is a wonder in its potential.

Yes, that, too!

It takes either a purple mining pick or green boosts (purple pick is much more effective on the longer run). One 20 minute visit in PVP zone gives you about 5k black ice. But yea, you have to invest in it about 500k AD.
Other than that you will probably need Dragon glyphs or will go for cheaper Black Ice solution (altrough my thought is that currently Glyphs are BIS for an average player, and no - im not speaking about blue ones).'
The lifesteal ones are OP indeed. Haven't had a chance to lay my hands on them yet, but i am eagerly awaiting that moment.
BTW i am running both sets - Corrupted and Purified for different PVP occasions (i do have a non black ice pve set for dailies, due to the quick glyph being only 2h item).
but its better for any class then for tr
coz tr lack most basic stat and that is stealth
In the end went with more flexible rounded AP build. I love the synergy between Impact shot, Invisible Infiltratior, bloodbath and Shadow strike. This eliminates the need of TC. Swaping CBI and PBI as needed.
